Comments Thread For: Arum Responds To "Bizarre" Team Mayweather Claim

[KickAzz]

Not only are the most ardent floyd haters in the boxing media taking arum to task for his BS,last time out Bob was supposedly telling the truth and the arbitrtator told everyone he was lying. And you really believe Bob?

well, why don't ross come out and tell everyone bob is lying?

[Sugar Q]

Arum never dealt with Schaefer DIRECTLY.. Because they do everything through Greenburg.. Schaefer's name doesnt need to be brought up in the negotiations.. He isnt fighting Pacquiao.. and there's Haymon to represent Floyd..
At the start of all this, Greenburg said they were gonna start negotiating, but they were gonna keep it quiet.. I would agree with you that Arum has little credibility, but i would disagree if you said the same for Greenburg.. The man has no reason to lie about this..

I think you need to do a littel research on Greenburg my dude. This is about money and money sometimes ****s with your mind if your not careful especially in such an ego driven sport. Greenburg aint innocent.

I know about Greenburg.. And i know this is about money.. And i know Greenburg is after the money.. That's why he's trying to make this fight.. If the fight gets made, HBO will handle the PPV, publicity, 24/7 etc, and make a truckload of cash.. And how does this happen??

By STARTING NEGOTIATIONS...

Greenburg has EVERY reason to make this fight happen, and NO reason not to...

Typical Arum Response.

Because that would be the end of it.. He's keeping his mouth shut, cause he's still hoping the fight happens..

Shut Up

If the fight the world wants to see - Manny Pacquiao against Floyd Mayweather Jr. - is going to be made, the deal must get done quietly without a lot of posturing in the media. HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg seems determined to make that happen.

But since he has asked the principals, promoters Bob Arum and Richard Schaefer, to remain quiet, Greenburg is reluctant to go into any detail about the status of negotiations for a bout that likely would take place on Nov. 13, the date reserved for Pacquiao's next fight.

"I can't talk about it," Greenburg told Newsday. "I'm right in the middle of shutting everyone down. We have to do it quietly. This cannot get into the papers. If it gets in the papers, all of a sudden, it takes on a life of its own like it did in December and January, and it becomes very difficult to make the fight. We all kind of shook hands and said, 'Let's keep quiet and do it out of the press and get it done.'

"We're going to try to make it happen. That's all I can say."

I'm tempted to ask well why doesn't ross come out and say Bob is telling the truth? I don't know for sure but my guess is Ross is not going to say anything to damage HBO's relationship with the #1 draw in the business!

[switchsouthpaw]

What press is that? Cause all of the major sites (ESPN,YAHOO,AOL,FHYPE,BGT*LK) are hammering Bob's ass so stop spreading BS. Even Arum's top flunkies are turning on him. Where was your ass when Arum said he sent the contract to Schaefer which they agreed to then where was your ass when Arum forgot his medication and said he never spoke to Schaefer and his name was never brought up. This is not about personally **** dude Im a businessman dont waste your time tryna play on my intelligence it's your dumbass that's tryna defend Arum's lies.

Lol @ you fancying yourself as a businessman. Businessmen spell words correctly and use proper punctuation. You're just another fanboy in a long line of fanboys.

Since you know already then tell me, with the fight beng off and closing in on a Cheato fight why hasn't Greenburg made a statement? He was just called a liar and he should come out with a statement don't you think?

Yo Dunn wassup!

I hate to sound like a mo or a tard, but the #1 draw wanted to have a vacation and wanted none of boxing.

That's all there is to it really.

Twas cool if he didn't say anything like that, but he did and that was like ****ting all over his team and family, who right now have different versions of what's up with everything.
